We Are Never Meeting in Real Life Essays eBook Samantha Irby

Yet again, Samantha gives me life while taking my breath away. Not in, like, enlightened gasps--sorry if that's what you thought I meant. More like public guffaws that either made passerby run away from the crazed lady reading a bright yellow book in public with unabashed joy, or slow their pace and lean in to read the title in my chortle-shaking hands.

Yes, like Irby I'm a member of the DPC (Dead Parent Club) and DCC (Dysfunctional Childhood Club) and am the last of many kids from a blended family; a trifecta that often infuses both a dark sense of humor and a great appreciation for the little things in a person. But I don't think you need to have a similar history to understand how perfect these short stories are in explaining how a woman becomes who she is and the many faces of love along the way. She is frank about the raw rub of mental illness and physical ailments without begging pity, and tells tales that make you want to read everything else she ever scribbles. And did I mention how funny she is? Holy crap on a cracker, she is FUNNY.

I love her blog bitches gotta eat. Her book Meaty was fantastic. But this is, in my opinion, the best Samantha has shared with us yet.

We Are Never Meeting in Real Life Essays eBook Samantha Irby Reviews

This author is one of my favorites! Purchased this book for the sole purpose of taking with on a two week trip to Punta Cana. I started reading on the plane and oh my word I was IN. I could not put it down. The book cover and all of its pages were water logged, sand filled and beat to holy hell by the end of my read, because I read this baby while in the pool, while in the ocean, while on a catamaran, while sitting at the water bar inside the pool. And let me just admit, I sat at that in pool bar a lot. I drank so many Hendricks and Squirt while holding this book that it probably needs AA. The book tanned as much as I did and baby, let me say this, we both bronze!! I even held the edge of this book a few times when making out with my guy, because I could not put it down, and you know a girl HAS to GET her read and groove on. Thank you book for being a champ in Punta Cana. Thanks for the soulful smiles from reading your delicious pages. I left you behind on a beachside table in Punta Cana, hoping you’d find a new friend to love you as much as I did.
Memoirs have been my jam for the better part of a year now, and I’m so disappointed in myself for having put this particular one off for so long. Samantha Irby spares no nitty gritty detail when describing some of her most terrible (often-times hilarious) and very human experiences. She covers all of the super-relatable aspects of day-to-day life toxic/oneway relationships, shitty parents, social anxiety, socioeconomic struggles, balancing work and freedom, and even shitting yourself just outside of your friend’s car, while stuck in traffic, after eating a 400 year old hamburger from McDonald’s (we’ve all been there). I’m a better person for having read this memoir. I promise, Samantha Irby, if I ever happen to see you in real life, I’ll make sure to admire you, inconspicuously, with actual heart emojis for eyes from a safe distance. Social anxiety is the pits, and I’d make myself anxious for probably making you anxious for having to speak to a stranger, and then you’ll pick up on my anxiety and I’ll pick up on you picking up on my anxiety and then the pit from Drag Me To Hell will open and— Us misanthropes gotta stick together. We are never meeting in real life.
This collection of eminently relatable essays held me spellbound. Samantha Irby writes with raw searing honesty and "heartbreaking hilarity." Her voice is unique yet showcases the similarities in so many of us willing to tell our most personal stories . Brilliant.
it was hard to put this book down !
Once again, I am lucky to have found a book that is so much MORE than I expected it to be. I thought I had found a collection of well-written and comedic essays. And while this book does fit those parameters, I also found wisdom, and honesty, and profound sadness, as well as the humor of a woman finding herself. This book made me laugh and weepy, but I am also inspired to be honest with myself and to want more for myself.

"I spent too much time trying to mold myself to fit the romantic ideals of humans who proved themselves unworthy of that effort, and I regret it. Never again will I be with someone who is unwilling to accept me as I am, or who has any desire to mold me into something that makes me uncomfortable."
We've been passing this funny and touching book of essays around the family. Yes, a book of essays is our current Must Read. Irby has persevered through some objectively pretty terrible experiences, and she's spun them into literary gold. Read this book just to discover the feelings and acts she admits to, that you may have done yourself, but can't believe she's actually writing about! Irby writes freely about her issues and problems, as if she doesn't fear judgement, and it works. By book's end you feel like you know her, she's your friend, and you'd stick up for her against her enemies.
Yesterday at halfway through this book, I was a little disgusted. Not just the gory toileting details, which I could handle. But Ms. Irby tends to get very, very dark at times. I usually enjoy this brand of darkness, but repeated helpings of that can be, frankly, too much. I am really glad I persisted, though, because all in all this was a good read from a gifted writer. She has a very familiar and down to Earth style that feels very intimate. One minute I felt like we were kindred souls, the next minute I was shocked or repulsed. That is not necessarily a bad thing. It was definitely interesting, but I can see that this book would not be every person's cup of tea.
What an amazing collection of essays! Samantha Irby is now one of my favorite writers. Her wit and candor was refreshing and so funny. What struck me beyond the sentences that actually made me laugh out loud, was how honest all these essays are. Samantha had a lot that I relate to. A lot of her insecure paranoia was too reminiscent of my own life. From anxiety, depression, unrequited love, and weight-loss nothing is off topic. I laughed and cringed quite a bit, but that's what made this essay collection so funny and real. Samantha Irby is my new favorite writer.
